So I see that Mnuchin is going to raise the tax rate to 15%
April 26, 2017 at 9:15 am
as confirmed
here. As most major companies are flocking off their headquarters (but not actually doing any business, you understand) to such exotic locations as the Bahamas, the Caymans, Dublin or London how is he going to get them to suffer the infinite tax hike (from the current effective rate of 0%)?
Or is this simply another way for the Republitraitor party to fuck over ordinary Americans by stealing money out of their pockets to give to the already super rich?
PS. The last question was rhetorical.

wut ?
Are you referencing the proposed cut from 35% to 15% ???
But actually, he thought as he re-adjusted the Ministry of Plenty's figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connexion with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connexion that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. For example, the Ministry of Plenty's forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at one-hundred-and-forty-five million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than one-hundred-and-forty-five millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot. And so it was with every class of recorded fact, great or small. Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The less huge corporations can have a negative tax rate too, and get corpoate welfare checks. The huge ones will get even bigger checks. I mean we'll grow the economy. It'll be tremendous.

Good point, apart from your blatant misspelling of "connection".
